Yeah, like I said: the amount of venom isn’t new, it’s that more of it gets splashed on the creators that it used to.

Keep in mind I came to internet fandom just as the dust was clearing, so I only heard about it secondhand, but:

That is pretty much the same thing everyone was saying about it when I first arrived in fandom (with BtVS, in 1998), yep. Right down to the thousand-yard stare you could see through the Internet.

Oh, this DEFINITELY happened with Avatar. The Zuko/Katara vs. Aang/Katara ship war was epic and long-lasting.

Guess how I found out that the real-life inspiration for The Exorcist took place two blocks from my house?

You’re right, I’d forgotten about that. Also dude got around while he was in Europe.

huh, how are you a direct descendant? I thought he only had one daughter, and her only child died in infancy.

Try using two bobby pins apiece, crossed in an X. They stay put really well in my hair that way.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but when I was in junior high my all-time favorite musicals were Rent and Les Miserables. This comes along, and it’s a musical about a doomed revolutionary set to modern pop music? Sign me the fuck up.

I said this to someone else, but as a fellow wavy/frizzy/coarse girl: you can air-dry overnight as long as it’s not loose— braided, like you suggested, or in giant-size pin curls (or regular ones, but they take forever). I usually divide my hair into 8 or so sections, roll and pin, and go to bed: nice big waves and…

I also have Hermione hair, and these are the three things I recommend:

Hm. Maybe it’s like how everyone Superman cares about has LL initials?

Look, I don’t see why it’s such a big surprise that Tom Hiddleston really, really loves Tom Stoppard. He’s had that shirt for years. Bought it in the lobby gift shop after a production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. He and Taylor bonded because of their mutual love of awkward dancing and the 2009 West End…

doooooo iiiiiit

I ended up liking Hail, Caesar! a lot, but I would have like it even more if the main plot had been Cowboy Detective Vs. Secret Communist Dreamboat. Also if there had been more dance numbers.

What? No. Fern Gully: The Last Spaceforest was startlingly original in every possible respect.

Having been a mediocre white teenager in a high-achieving school district, there is nothing I want more than for the Abby Fishers of the world to shut the fuck up.

I buy an extra box of pads and a box of tampons every time I go to Costco and drop them off at the women’s shelter nearest me. Also PP and Graham Windham (aka Eliza Schuyler Hamilton’s orphanage).

Yeah, I would probably burn shit down if they tried to remake Princess Bride.

SAME.
